I looked at that, and then I saw this in a New Yorker Cartoon feature. This one seems to follow so well....

On election night, late when the sinking feeling, gut wrenching even full of fears and thoughts of impending results of the results. Now with just over one hundred days to see just the beginning of them coming to reality. My hope is this will be the straw that finally wakes up the electorate to the con job they have been sold by the GOP! But still a long way to midterms, plenty of damage to be ahead.
Does anyone also really believe that any "fix" to the ACA will be implemented before 2018 or even 2020???

AARP staunchly opposed. They have millions of Republican members. This thing isn't going anywhere without a complete overhaul.

It appears tho' that (some) folks willingly agree to lose health care benefits to snub the former POTUS without a guaranteed adequate replacement.

Unmentioned consequences in play here. The Repugnants called ACA Obamacare to deride it, one third Americans do not know that ACA is Obamacare. So they want to lose Obamacare but love the ACA. Even if some form of this replacementcare holds, it will still be compared against Obamacare.
What a bunch of idiots.

One-Third Don’t Know Obamacare and Affordable Care Act Are the Same

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/07/u...same.html?_r=0

With 24/7 news and social media, how can people choose to be so ignorant?

Unfortunately yes. But when some people believe that only Fox News dispenses facts despite evidence to the contrary, not much can be done.
